This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120 as a continuation of PCT Application no. PCT/CN2018/116111, filed on Nov. 19, 2018, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201711147140.1, filed on Nov. 17, 2017, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of telecommunication technologies, for example, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting warning information.

BACKGROUND

The fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) network architecture has innovation and networking flexibility, and a base station on a wireless access network side in the 5G network is separated into two functional entities, i.e., a centralized unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU). Controlling multiple distributed units by the centralized unit may implement the baseband centralized processing of a cloud architecture and provide services distributedly for far-ends of users. In the CU-DU separative network architecture, network functions which are insensitive to time delay are placed in a CU, and network functions which are sensitive to time delay are placed in a DU; on one hand, a large amount of core network signaling overhead is saved, on the other hand, time delay of switching is reduced, and the mobility performance of a new radio (NR) system can be enhanced. Transmission and connection are performed between the CU and the DU through an F1 interface.

In a long term evolution (LTE) system, an earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) important notification and an ETWS auxiliary notification are transmitted to user equipment (UE) through a system information block type10 (SIB10) and a system information block type11 (SIB11) in a base station system message. The SIB10 includes the ETWS important notification, and the SIB11 includes the ETWS auxiliary notification, and the existence or modification of the SIB 10 and the SIB11 are notified to UE through a paging message. When the UE monitors the paging message, the UE determines whether the paging message includes an ETWS indication field. If the paging message includes the ETWS indication field, the UE starts to receive the SIB 10 including the ETWS important notification and the SIB11 including the ETWS auxiliary notification according to a scheduling info list field of the SIB11 in the base station system message. The base station will continuously transmit the paging message including the EWTS indication field after the warning information occurs, to ensure that all UEs in the service area can receive the paging message.

In the 5G; the ETWS under the CU-DU networking architecture, including a system information position corresponding to the ETWS and a basic disaster warning process on the F1 interface, has not been determined yet, which causes the CU and the DU unable to perform the warning notification normally.

An embodiment provides an ETWS under a CU-DU networking architecture in the next generation wireless communication. Application of the ETWS under 5G CU-DU architecture is clearly specified, such as system information corresponding to the ETWS and a basic disaster warning process on an F1 interface are clearly specified.

In the embodiment, according to the generation of a warning RRC message, two cases may be provided: a CU generates the warning RRC message; and a DU generates the warning RRC message.

The case where a CU generates a warning RRC message is described as follows. In a process of transmitting a warning message, the CU generates system information (SI) RRC message of a PWS, and transmits the RRC message to a DU through a public warning request message.

The above SI RRC message includes at least one of: 1. a warning message type, 2. a warning message identifier, 3. a warning message serial number, 4. a warning area list, 5. a repetition period, 6. an extended repetition period, 7. the number of broadcast requests, 8. a warning type, 9. warning security information, 10. a data encoding mechanism, 11. a warning message content and 12. a concurrent warning message indication.

Information 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, and 11 may be included in an SIB10 and an SIB11, and may be transmitted by the CU to the DU directly in a manner of an RRC container (CONTAINER). In an embodiment, the information 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 and 11 may alternatively be transmitted by the CU directly to the DU through an F1 interface.

Information 5, 6, 7, and 12 are configuration information required in a system information block (SIB) to be issued to a cell by the DU, and are transmitted by the CU to the DU through the F1 interface.

The information 4, the warning area list, may be transmitted in form of a cell list. That is, the CU may screen a cell list needs to be broadcast through a tracking area identify (TAI) list and warning area list information of an NG interface, and transmit the cell list to the DU through the F1 interface.

The information 11, the warning message content, needs to be segmented on the CU and pieces of segmentation information are transmitted through the F1 interface. In one embodiment, all pieces of segmentation information may be included in one piece of F1 interface message; or the pieces of segmentation information may be independently transmitted and independent feedbacks may be performed.

After receiving a warning processing request, the DU transmits a warning response message to the CU, and feeds back a processing result.

The information 4, the warning broadcast completed area list, may be transmitted in form of a cell list.

In an embodiment, considering that DU may perform parallel processing and there may exists a delay problem, corresponding association information needs to be introduced on the F1 interface, which facilitates the CU performing warning message association, such as a session identifier (ID), and facilitates the CU generating a corresponding response message to feed back to an authentication management function (AMF). Or the warning message is associated by reusing a warning request and a warning response message on the NG interface.

In a process of warning cancellation, the CU generates a PWS cancellation request message, and transmits the PWS cancellation request message to the DU through the F1 interface to terminate the broadcast of warning information. After receiving the PWS cancellation request message, the DU feeds a PWS cancellation response message back to the CU through the F1 interface.

The above PWS cancellation request message at least includes: 1. the warning message type, 2. the warning message identifier, 3. the warning message serial number, and 4. a warning to be cancelled area list.

The warning cancelled area list is of a level of a cell list.

In an embodiment, considering that DU may perform parallel processing and there may exists a delay problem, corresponding association information needs to be introduced on the F1 interface, which facilitates the CU performing warning message association, such as a session identifier (ID), and facilitates the CU generating a corresponding response message to feed back to the authentication management function (AMF). Or the warning message is associated by reusing a warning request and a warning response message on the NG interface.

When performing a process of a PWS restart indication and a PWS failure indication, the DU needs to transmit a restart cell list and a failed cell list respectively to the CU through the F1 interface. The CU transmits a warning restart cell list and a warning failed cell list separately to a core network device through the NG interface as a warning restart area list in the PWS restart indication and a warning failed area list in the PWS failure indication.

An overall process of generating a warning RRC message in the DU is similar to the process of generating a warning RRC message in the CU. The difference is that all involved parameters need to be transmitted by the CU to the DU through an F1 interface.
